Discussion on Isolated Component Testing in Phoenix LiveView

The Elixir forum thread focuses on the discussion of testing strategies for Phoenix LiveView components. Forum users, including coladarci and mcrumm, discuss techniques for testing individual LiveView components in isolation, away from the full page context. This approach intends to allow developers to assert strong contracts and handle edge cases more effectively. The discussion covers using the 'live_isolated/3' and 'render_component/3' functions for isolated component testing, the potential use of a 'live_isolated_component' library to facilitate this, and mcrumm detailed a method for using a custom LiveView to drive the LiveComponent under test with an example GitHub gist provided. The conversation includes a mixture of questions, suggestions, and code snippets that outline how testing can be improved within the LiveView framework for more efficient test coverage of stateful components in isolation.
